Storm the Gate! - LotFP

[Nihilistic_Impact]

This has yet to be properly fleshed out as an idea; but I feel compelled to get it out there so I don't become distracted by something else...

This will be utilising Lamentations of the Flame Princess as a system, along with a series of house rules I have devised, the pdf can be found for free on the linked page.

To keep my mind focused I plan to start with something simple and exciting. The PCs are going to attempt to take over a local Tower/Castle from which to base their future operations.

Now this is a large task for 1st lvl characters so I am not opposed with providing them with a number of 0th lvl fighters to command and possible allies along with potential traitors within the defences.

I now open the floor to questions.

In Addendum, potential players; I would like if you would fill out the following rubric.

1-5

Difficulty
Complexity
Ultraviolence
Eroticism
Gonzo

Water and rations might also be useful for you. Just determine how many days you'd like to have provisions for.

That too. >.>

So is it safe to say that this has been revived????

Also, if I want provisions for say 3 - 5 days (seems reasonable enough for a start to me anyway), what should I be thinking of to include to the list I've already started in my previous posts???

There's the obvious:

food
water (something to store it in, like a canteen)
lantern (and things to make it light up)
bedding (not sure what sort, but something)
cookware (pots, pans, utensils)
rope
clothes??? (like a cape or coat if it's cold)
tent

Anything else?????

Yes, I suppose it is. Though we need another third, and I wouldn't mind a fourth.

Iron Rations are the standard really for food stuffs; chunk of bread, some cheese and dried meat. Grab a water skin or two for your water needs. Bedroll for your bedding and possibly a personal tent. Lantern and 4-8 flasks of oil, back pack to carry them in. Unless you are considering hunting then cookware isn't that useful, though it can be nice. Don't forget a tinderbox to start your fires. 50' length of rope with a hammer and some spikes are good.

You automatically have appropriate clothing. And you are required to have a holy symbol.

Other useful items are, small mirror, chalk, fishing gear, lard, flower and alcohol.

I'm going to sound terribly newb for this, but what are iron rations? >.<

And I already am taking into account that I'd mentioned the leather armor, sling, staff, holy symbol and vial of holy water. So what I mentioned just above was in addition.

So, I suppose the complete list would be:

leather armor
sling
staff
holy symbol
vial of holy water
back pack
2 water skins
food (dried meat, bread, cheese, apples)
lantern
tinderbox
6 flasks of oil
cookware (pots, pans, utensils)
personal tent
50' rope
spikes
hammer
bedroll
small mirror
wine
fishing gear

Hopefully I won't need to tweak that. >.<
